Eidos-Montreal have announced that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will support both DirectX 12 and TressFX 3.0 in the developers new Dawn Engine, which is specifically developed to take advantage of the hardware inside modern consoles and PCs.

The Game will also be a part of AMD's Gaming Evolved Progra and will be taking advantage of other AMD branded features like TressFX technology and will be using Microdoft's DirectX 12 API.

This sounds like early work on an unfinished graphics engine and at least a couple or more years off, then the final release probably won't look anything like what they'll show at the E3 before it or they'll switch renders on us like they did with Witcher 3.
I'm not hyping over some claims of using a new tressfx and API. As long as they do away with that horrid amber colored everything lighting then I'd be happy.

^ Dawn engine is based on Glacier, which is a finished engine already, so it might have more meat on its bones already.

they'll still have to support dx11 most likely, so I wouldn't get too excited. at the same time, that would be a useful test case for dx11 vs dx12.

Open world cyberpunk with awesome lore, gameplay (same team as HR!) with DX12?!

Take my money!

 

[Red Hawk]

Oooh, nice. I hope TressFX's usage is as extensive as Hairworks in Witcher 3, both because it will hopefully look good and so that we have a example to compare extensive implementations of TressFX and Hairworks and how they perform. TressFX's implementation in Tomb Raider was nice, but limited to Lara Croft's hair, so it's hard to compare the performance impact.

Can't wait for actual games that support both. We know that it's gonna be a lot better..but seeing "real world" comparisons is always nice.

The game looks good I watched the trailer, I just hope AMD is still around by the time its released.

 

[tviceman]

DX: HR is among my top 5 favorite games in the past 10 years. Can't wait for the next one!

 

[monstercameron]

Gotta love that piss filter!

I think the amber lighting should stay. I liked it in DX:HR. Makes the world feel more high-tech.

How? Incandescent is so 20 years ago

We don't the need thread crapping here so if you have nothing better to add other than doom and gloom, you can leave the thread. Talk about the game and technology because what you said is thread crapping otherwise.

Better hope so(Not that I see them going anywhere at all). Without competition Nvidia prices would skyrocket. D:

Retro-High-Tech
à la Aliens game

i.e. it will run well and look good.

can't wait to see what dx12 can do for PC gaming. Hope the witcher 3 devs add it as well. This quote from them makes me optimistic we could get a much better looking witcher 3 this year or with expansion next year.

The billowing smoke and roaring fire from the trailer? "It's a global system and it will kill PC because transparencies - without DirectX 12 it does't work good in every game." So he killed it for the greater good, and he focused on making sure the 5000 doors in Novigrad worked instead.

and suggests what awesomeness we could expect from Deus Ex.

 

[Hitman928]

Deus Ex Human Revolution wasn't a very cpu demanding game, so I don't know how much DX12 will give an advantage in this regard, but using Async shaders could have a large advantage with the post processing they do in the game, if they end up using the Async shader support.

 

[CP5670]

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I don't care that much about the graphics, which has never been a strong point of the past Deus Ex games, but the game should be great.

The Director's Cut release of HR removed that yellow filter, although the game still looks kind of yellow. I like the game's art style but it's too futuristic compared to the first Deus Ex, which takes place later.

How is "optimized for GCN" industry standard?

How is "optimized for GCN" industry standard?

Mantle, Vulkan, DX12 all pretty much the same codebase
AMD pushed it so PC gamers could use their 3 extra cores and more.

 

[Leadbox]

At least one title that's guaranteed to run as well as it can on all hardware.

 

[SPBHM]

HR supported DX9 and DX11, I wonder if this game is going to support DX11?

and is tressFX a PC only thing like hairworks on TW3, or is it used also on the consoles?

 

[jamesgalb]

I'd like to confirm my purchase Will be interesting to see how this game differs from DX11 to DX12.

They have Tress fx on Tomb raider console versions.

Console hardware should run tressfx just fine. It is a matter of porting it, which shouldn't be too hard.

Ofc it depends if devs prioritize it over other graphical effects. Something will have to give. PS4 have about R8 270 gpu - some settings will have to be trimmed down.

They have Tress fx on Tomb raider console versions.

Thanks, I didn't know that

I'm interested in the "More features TBA" part ...

Could it be new graphics features specific to the Fiji microarchitecture or a physics middleware for GPU accelerating the rest of the game ?

Either way I'm excited ...
